“I went through a messy and very stressful separation in 2018. I had tried unsuccessfully to come to a reasonable arrangement with my former partner around getting time with my son; but was finding that the rules kept changing week-to-week, and I was frequently being denied meaningful access.

After looking at the available Comox lawyers I contacted Gavin about a month after my separation, and had numerous concerns around securing reliable parenting time, and how difficult my child’s mother was to deal with. I immediately felt a sense of relief once he explained what steps could be taken to begin putting rules in place to move forward. Under his direction we filed court papers, she lawyered-up to respond and agreed to sit down at a private mediation to keep the matter out of the court system. Gavin sat with me through very long and challenging mediation sessions and offered sound advice and valuable insight. We reached a mediated agreement which immediately began increasing my parenting time month over month, and established a framework to satisfy her side.

Within two months of starting the process, things were improving drastically, and six months after hiring Gavin my parenting time has increased exponentially. I no longer have to live under my ex partner’s artificial and dynamic rules in order to be a present father to my child, which has decreased my stress levels and allowed me to focus on my son and move on with my life.

Gavin was a tremendous help to my family and I in a very difficult ordeal, and most of the time we managed to have a few laughs along the way.

I have strongly recommended Gavin Mather as an attorney to my personal friends going through similar circumstances, and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else.”
